B, Cracked again in 1835, some people say while tolling for John Marshall’s funeral.

D. Although some people say the bell cracked again in 1835, it was tolling for John Marshall’s funeral.

Most people frown about #4. It is a comma splice which means that 2 main clauses hung together by a comma. The better way to do it is with a ; since the two statements are unrelated. In this case it is a very fine point of grammar which is more annoying than wrong.

#1 is wrong because there is no main clause. The bell is the beginning of the main clause.

#2 is passive. It's not wrong, but the writing style could be better.

#3 <<<< answer The and is the proper way to connect 2 predicates.

If you can give me brainliest than that will be amazing. Thank You!

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
